Now that HD-DVD's are all but gone. (Hm, there's only one machine that uses that format.
I wonder which one it is.)
Many people have focused their attention to blu-ray. To be honest; my thoughts are that
Blu-ray is a pointless endeavor. Although sony has enjoyed moderate success with it's new
format; the truth is that disc based media is on it's way out. The era of digital based
media is about to begin, and disc's have no place within it.
Soon, it'll al be about massive hard drives, and even bigger media sources.
What's even more interesting is that sony has managed to start this process with the
launch of it's *new* psp-go. The handheld ditched the much lauded "UMD" disc. I
knew it was going to happen. The UMD was a worthless disc that added restraints to the
psp itself.
It's like sony is managing to collectively kick their own butt.
If you put two, and two together..it only seems like ditching blu-ray is the natural
thing to do right? RIGHT?
It seems that way, and it's without a doubt that microsoft will abandon the disc format
with the next iteration of it's Xbox. It's the smart thing to do.
Give me terabytes, or zettabytes!
